[roadrash]

exactly that @rich p , he made no effort to stop the nob ed pushing him, and yeah the lopez incident was the only action really

Italian TV has also just missed everything. Roglic's crash, Lopez today, TGH crash, a couple of others I can't immediately think of.

To be fair they had Italian stage winners to consider.

Has anybody else noticed that Ecuador is quite close to the equator.
Helluva coincidence being called that.

The whole Giro had been pretty uneventful with a lack of exciting racing.
Can't blame Sky this time.

No, you can blame Ineos for sending a team with only youngsters for the GC!

 

[mjr]

its happening too often, so called "fans" and I use the term loosely, interfere with the race, I wouldn't be surprised to see a pro cyclist kick the shoot out of someone for doing that, by all means shout and cheer or whatever but there is absolutely no need for physical contact

The runner didn't intend physical contact. Running alongside on narrow roads is foolish, but the other "fan" who dropped his shoulder into the runner sending him sprawling into Lopez also deserves some flames!

 

[roadrash]

even running alongside riders is foolish and inconsiderate but yeah other chap deserves a slap too

 

[ColinJ]

Too tired to ask fan to stop pushing? Very naughty, but understandable!

Too angry to resist smacking an annoying fan about the head? Very naughty, but understandable!

A classic edition of the Giro? Not really! A few good stages, but somehow a big disappointment...

A good result though, assuming that something awful doesn't happen tomorrow.



Anyway, I'm starting the post-Giro party a day early!
